Development & Manufacturing of Thermavolt Insulating Components for the Solar Industry

(click on thumbnail to enlarge)

A manufacturer of solar panels was in need of a solution to an electrical insulation issue with one of their products. The H. Loeb Company was contracted to help them develop a solution, and ease the log jam on their engineering department. Once we obtained the product requirements our staff of engineers developed several prototypes which were sent to the client for testing.

The design that was selected utilized a laminated 3M insulation and adhesive product, and was produced in our facility using a platen press die cutter to size the laminated sheets. Sheets where sized to 4" X 9" and 9" X 7.5", and met tolerances of ±.005". Each part was put through rigorous quality control and dimensional testing. Delivery time for the entire project was completed within two weeks.
